LAFARGEHOLCIM'S FREE MEDICAL CAMP TOUCHES LIVES IN CHHATAK, BANGLADESH

By Admin July 19, 2025 FICCI Monthly Bulletin June 2025

On Saturday, 18 May 2025, LafargeHolcim Bangladesh PLC. (the Company) successfully conducted a Health Camp at the Noarai Sub-Center at Chhatak marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to community well-being. This initiative is part of the Company's broader effort to hold quarterly health camps aimed at delivering accessible healthcare to underserved populations in our operational areas.

 

This camp saw an encouraging turnout, with 137 patients receiving medical consultations and care. A dedicated team of three MBBS doctors and three paramedics were on-site, offering their time and expertise. Thanks to the two MBBS doctors from Sylhet Women's Medical College and Hospital, who joined hands to be part of this noble effort.

 

 

 

 

Patients sought medical help for a wide variety of conditions, including antenatal care, abdominal pain, skin infections like scabies, chest pain, headaches, vertigo, diarrhea, appetite issues, depression, diabetes and hypertension. Our team ensured that every patient received the attention they needed. Those requiring special- ist referrals or surgeries were appropriately guided to higher medical facilities. For common ailments such as fever, cold, diarrhea, and dysentery, free medicines were provided directly from our Community Clinic. Where necessary, doctors also prescribed further medical tests or diagnostic procedures.

 

The camp received heartfelt appreciation from the community. Akhlus Miah's words captured the true essence of our mission:

 

"Without this health camp, I would've had to go to the city, spend money I don't have on transport and doctor's fees. Today, I got the help I needed right at my doorstep. Thank you, LafargeHolcim, for caring."

 

Moments like these reaffirm the Company's belief that healthcare is not just a service-it is a lifeline, and one we are proud to extend to the communities around us.
